Clearly you're on track to be one of the elite. I've put together a few pointers for you to help you make it to the hall of fame, for marriage, that is: Always put the large plates in the back of the dishwasher. Remove cleats before walking on the new Brazilian hardwoods. And one evening when she least expects it, surprise Candice by making her the Creamy Shrimp Fettuccine on page 86 and the Sexy Strawberry Zabaglione on page 136. Then get ready for lots of rushing and scrambling.

I hope this was helpful. Thanks again for buying the book.

Sincerely yours,
Susan

PS- Regarding the NFL Lockout, consider making a batch of the Bacon Brownies on page 122 for the next negotiation meeting. After eating these salty, sweet, smoky slabs of bacon studded goodness, the owners and reps will experience a sudden release of endorphins and will no doubt acquiesce to the all your demands. If you need some help, let me know. I'm available to assist. And just out of curiosity, will Tom be there?

OK, guys, there you have it: NFL star quarterbacks cook. You should too. And to help you get started, I'm giving away 5 signed copies of Recipes Every Man Should Know. Just leave a comment below telling me why you want the book. Ladies, you can tell me why you want to give the book to a man in your life. If you tweet -- @Foodblogga -- or FB about it, it'll increase your chances! I'll randomly choose 5 names and announce them tomorrow. Let's get it started!

With a steady supply of pizza, spaghetti, and salad, I could definitely use some variety in my life. I've bought cookbooks in the (distant) past, but they didn't seem written for me. Hopefully I win and get some help in the kitchen!

When we first got together, my boyfriend claimed to not like onions or garlic. After 361 days (um, with the occasional take-out break from the kitchen...) of education via my home cooking he has finally accepted onions and garlic as staple flavor-contributors. Now, four days away from our first anniversary, I'd love to share this book with him and his new-found appreciation for delicious food!

I would love to have this for my grandson (he's 21), who thinks he's an expert in the kitchen. No one that young can know all he needs to know about la cucina, and I can think of no one better than you, Susan, to set him straight...but in the very most ladylike way. Check your Twitter @mentions, too.

OK, so here are the lucky winners:Stacief, Figs and Artichokes, Rice Kernel, LivinLocal, and Chuck who emailed me his comment.

I contacted all of you already, but just a reminder that I'm going to be away next week, so I'm going to the post office this afternoon to mail books in time for Father's Day. Please send me your name and address ASAP! If I don't get it in time, I'll mail it the week after.

If I've missed the give-away, I apologize! But first, congratulatios on your book and the purchase by Tony Romo. I am a HUGE Cowboys fan (please, let there be a season!) and think it's VERY cool that your book is in his kitchen!
